Galloway, N.J. 鈥 A record 27 淫性视频 students are spending the spring 2020 semester in the nation鈥檚 capital as part of The Washington Internship program.

The program, operated by The Washington Center, gives 淫性视频 students the opportunity to live, work, and study in the Washington D.C., metropolitan area. Students intern at government agencies and non-profit organizations that match their academic and career interests.

淫性视频 has participated in the program since the mid-1970s, and more than 1,300 students have spent a semester in the nation鈥檚 capital.

鈥溡允悠 has sent more students to the Washington Center鈥檚 Internship Program than any college/university in the country,鈥 said Associate Professor of Political Science Michael Rodriguez, who coordinates the internship program. 鈥淭his semester we have a record number of 淫性视频 interns in D.C. The program is successful because faculty and staff actively encourage students to participate. The internship semester is one of the 鈥榞ems鈥 at 淫性视频.鈥 

Here is what some of the Spring 2020 students said about their experiences so far:

washington interns rachel rowanRachel Rowan, Seaside Heights N.J., Criminal Justice, Dafero  

鈥淥n the surface, Dafero looks like a food company that makes date spreads, but it (also) creates resources and advocates for refugee women and human trafficking victims. My official title at Dafero is Social Impact Manager. I enhance and create resources for these women. One of the many projects I've been working on is improving our mobile app before it's launched. Our mobile app has life skill learning modules that teach these women things like women's rights, nutrition, health and hygiene, and financial literacy. I'm in the process of getting all these modules translated into Spanish, French, Arabic, Pashto, and Albanian. It's truly inspiring and has the ability to help me figure out my career path.鈥

 

Julian Londono, Pleasantville N.J., Criminal Justice, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives 

鈥淭he one thing that truly interested me was living in our nation鈥檚 capital. I knew that Washington D.C. would be the perfect place to network, as well as to learn new experiences. ATF, a well-known and respected federal agency, is the highlight of my resume, and I am absolutely loving every minute here. Due to the nature of my internship, I cannot specifically comment on everything I do. What makes this program that much more interesting is that you are trusted with a lot of information as just an intern. I have created many friendships with people all over the country and all over the world; and that is not something you can find just anywhere.鈥

Robert Migliazza, Holmdel N.J., Business Management, U.S. Department of Justice- Justice Management Division

鈥淭he thing that really made me get interested in The Washington Internship was that I can gain real-life work experience while experiencing the entire city of D.C. and all it has to offer. I have met some peers that I know I will be lifelong friends as well as working professionals that I have added to my professional network. My first weekend here I participated in a Capitol Tour and it was really an amazing experience.鈥

鈥淚 wanted to do the Washington Center program to have a fresh start. So far, I have developed a more professional mindset. Working every day from 9-5 has been very different than what I鈥檓 used to. The administration here has kept us very busy the last few weeks and has allowed us to be a part of very interesting activities, such as today, N.J. Governor Phil Murphy came to speak to us. I am interning for the National Archives and have so far written press releases, articles, and content for the Public Affairs team. I am also doing a long-term project of creating a Smart Book for the office with all their standard operating procedures for different things.鈥

If you're curious about the Washington internship program you can have your questions answered at an information session from 4:30-6 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 26, in L-112.  淫性视频 graduate Ciara Barrick, who works for The Washington Center, will discuss the application process, living in D.C., where to intern and more.
